译文: 个人企业主不一定是因为他们不能从商业机构那里得到财政支持,才去依赖他们的亲属的。

解释: 相信在没有考过GRE、GMAT、LSAT或者练过难句的人当中,绝大多数人会把上面的这句话理解成:

因为个人企业主们不能从商业机构那里得到财政支持,所以他们不一定去依赖他们的亲属。

句意变得荒谬之极,简直不像是正常人类的思维。难怪有人说GRE和GMAT的阅读不是正常人读的东西。其实本句是一个倒装,because引导的状语从句被倒装到句末,而正常的语序应该是:Individual entrepreneurs do not necessarily because they cannot obtain financial backing from commercial resources rely on their kin,但是这样的语言同样很蹩脚。作者为了使句子的结构看上去舒服一点,不得不采用现在这样的结构,这也是压缩原文的需要。不信请读者试一下,还用现在的句子长度,如果用清楚的语言来表达,你能够做到吗?

本句还有一个比较简单的双重否定,即“不一定是因为他们不能从商业机构那里得到财政支持,才去依赖他们的亲属”的意思是即使可以得到商业贷款,也可能去找亲属借钱。
